EDGE Analysis

VanVleet will shake off a questionable tag and return to action after missing Monday's win over Washington, which was the second night of a back-to-back set. The veteran guard is off to a rough start this season, averaging 13.2 points and 5.8 assists while shooting only 37.9 percent from the field.

VanVleet (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive game due to left hamstring soreness, though Monday's absence was the second game of a back-to-back set. The 30-year-old has seen a decrease in production through 10 regular-season outings in the 2024-25 campaign, during which he has averaged 13.2 points, 5.8 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.7 steals while shooting 37.9 percent from the field across 35.6 minutes per game.

VanVleet will not play Monday against the Wizards due to left hamstring soreness.

EDGE Analysis

Monday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, so VanVleet's absence may be a byproduct of load management more so than the hamstring injury. VanVleet played 37 minutes in Sunday's 101-99 win over the Pistons, but he was held to seven points (3-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 0-2 FT) while contributing seven rebounds, seven assists, three steals and one block. With VanVleet sidelined for at least one game, Jalen Green could absorb most of the usage of the backcourt, while players such as Amen Thompson and Reed Sheppard may notice spikes in playing time.

VanVleet totaled seven points (3-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals in 37 minutes during Sunday's 101-99 win over the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Vanvleet has really struggled with his shot to open the season, and his counting stats have also suffered. Through the opening 10 games of the campaign, he's posting averages of 13.2 points, 5.8 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 2.0 three-pointers while hitting 37.6 percent from the field and 28.2 percent from beyond the arc.

VanVleet accumulated 21 points (10-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt), seven rebounds, 10 assists and two steals in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 127-100 victory over the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet delivered his best game of the season Monday, setting up season-high marks in points, rebounds and assists while ending just three boards shy of a triple-double. With Alperen Sengun and Jalen Green entrenched as the Rockets' go-to options on offense, VanVleet's upside has reduced a little. However, he remains a solid contributor across all formats due to the impact he can make on both ends of the court. VanVleet is averaging 14.3 points, 6.1 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game across his first eight outings.

VanVleet ended Monday's 109-97 victory over New York with 19 points (8-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists, two rebounds, two steals and one block over 36 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet ended as the club's second-leading scorer behind Alperen Sengun (25) in the win. After a three-game span in which the 30-year-old shot 20.5 percent from the field, he produced a bounce-back outing with an efficient game. VanVleet's offensive production has been limited thus far, and he has averaged 13.3 points, 5.6 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.6 steals across 37.6 minutes per game in seven regular-season outings. However, he remains a crucial part of the Rockets' frontcourt and has racked up two-plus steals in four outings.

VanVleet had four points (2-13 FG, 0-7 3Pt), five rebounds and four assists in 39 minutes during Thursday's 108-102 win over Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet's four-point performance Thursday was his lowest scoring output since January 29 of the 2023-24 regular season against the Lakers (three). He's averaging just 12.6 points per game on 30.3 percent shooting to start the 2024-25 campaign, and while he's taken a back seat to Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun on offense, VanVleet will still be the Rockets' floor general and provide fantasy value in assists.

VanVleet finished with 18 points (5-12 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 39 minutes during Saturday's 109-106 loss to the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet finished just three assists away from recording a double-double in this loss to San Antonio. Even though he has settled into the role of being the Rockets' third-best offensive option behind Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun, VanVleet shouldn't have problems remaining a consistent fantasy producer who should deliver around 15 points and six assists on a steady basis.

VanVleet delivered 15 points (5-12 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), a rebound, five assists and a steal across 28 minutes in Thursday's 129-107 preseason win over the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun led the way for the Rockets in this one after combining for 51 points, but VanVleet can't be overlooked as one of the team's main offensive threats as well. The veteran floor general will be the one in charge of running the show in his second year with the Rockets, and he averaged 17.4 points with a career-best 8.1 assists per game in 2023-24.

VanVleet (rest) is available for Tuesday's preseason game versus the Pelicans, Jackson Gatlin of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

VanVleet will return to action Tuesday after sitting out Houston's previous contest for rest purposes. The 30-year-old guard's return will likely send Amen Thompson to the bench.
